Buying Quality Used Couches For Sale
Used couches for sale are in high demand, as more than 12 million pieces of furniture are dumped every year. Secondhand furniture is more sustainable for the earth and unique finds are often cheaper than mass-market alternatives.
Buyers who are smart are aware that precise descriptions and high-quality images make all the difference, whether they're shopping on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, or more specific marketplaces like Chairish or AptDeco.
Modern
If you don't want to spend an enormous amount of money on a custom-made piece or are on a tight budget, a used modern sofa could be the ideal option for your home. The most popular options are sectional sofas on sale or an L-shaped sofa. Both types of sofas can be designed to fit your space. These couches are available in a variety of fabric styles and colors including neutrals and vibrant shades. If you're looking for a secondhand modern sofa, look for one with solid frame. Also, ensure the upholstery is of high quality. The cushion fill should be composed of spring coils and fiber, with feathers or down for a softness. The frame should be constructed from kiln-dried wood using mortise and tenon joinery, not engineered lumber. The couch should be constructed of tough, stain-resistant performance fabrics that are easily cleaned.
The sofas in our Best Buy list have been evaluated by Forbes Vetted panelists to determine their durability as well as comfort, and ease of delivery and assembly. The panelists assessed how strong the frames are, logging whether they popped or creaked when moved or adjusted, and test the springs to make sure they held up to regular use. They also jumped on the couches, listening for springs that snapped or cracked and then sat on them for hours, evaluating their comfort. Then, they ran cushions that were washable through a wash cycle to test for shrinkage and unevenness.
While many of the modern used sofas we've included in our Best Buy guide are made by high-end brands however, there are great options at a reasonable price on Craigslist and other marketplaces on the internet. You can also search for newer, refurbished models on the websites of the major retailers.
You can buy a new or gently-used emerald sectional at Pottery Barn for under $2,000, and a navy blue reclining sectional on Wayfair for less than $3,000. If you're willing to take more of a risk, you might be able to find a few year old model on Craigslist for a fraction of the cost. Make sure you make sure you check the seller's credibility and ask if they've got bed bugs or other issues before buying.
Another option is to purchase a couch from a retailer that has an outlet store in your region. These stores offer furniture at a lower cost, often 30% less than retail price. You can also save by waiting for sales during the summer or other sales, like Black Friday. But, you must keep in mind that you may need to pay for shipping and build your couch yourself. If you're looking for a low-cost, quick solution, think about buying a sofa sale clearance that is pre-made from a manufacturer that offers various designs or an assembled version made in the US. They are usually delivered in small couches for sale boxes and require easy assembly. However, you'll need to put it in the garage overnight with bed bug traps to make sure it isn't attracting these pests that can be a nuisance.
